Trillian

i dowloaded trillian a few days ago and it just wont connect me to MSN...the others seem ok, other than that i like the idea of having an all-in-one program, but if it wont connect me to everything, then why have it. I will be looking for another program that will connect me, i hope there is something else out there...

I found it to be very difficult to add any contacts after initial installation and setup. I was never able to use it because I could not get it to connect properly to any other IM than Yahoo.

I too have been using Trillian for several months and have experienced minor problems. However the convenience of being able to login into one application rather than having several different programs at once far outweigh any minor difficulties. I am so impressed with the product that I've decided to upgrade to the Pro version of the product but I'd have no hesitation in recommending the free version to anyone who uses more than one Chat program. As a small point to note, there are few other alternatives to this product since most don't seem to be actively developed anymore. No wonder really since this beats them by a mile. Cerulean Studios ARE actively working on Trillian (both Free and Pro editions) and have released several patches over the past few months to remedy known problems. I think they've done a great job, its a quality piece of software and remember it is free.
